About Rachael Walker

Rachael Walker is a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom, and brings 5 years of clinical experience to her work. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low motivation, low self-esteem, confidence difficulties and depression, helping them to explore what feels most pressing and find practical ways to move forward.

Rachael practises in an integrative way, drawing on Person Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She frames counselling as a collaborative relationship, establishing clear boundaries while offering warmth and a non-judgemental presence so individuals feel able to open up and face difficult emotions.

Rather than giving direct answers, Rachael listens attentively and encourages clients to discover their own solutions, develop coping skills and build resilience. Through increased self-awareness and by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, clients can develop new strategies to change longstanding behaviours and handle life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

Client-Centred and CBT approaches for online support

Rachael uses client-centred therapy to create a warm, accepting environment where the client's own perspectives and goals guide each session. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and supporting people to explore their feelings so they can make choices that fit their values and circumstances.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT to help identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies for change. CBT is often used for issues such as anxiety, low mood and stress because it combines reflection with concrete tools and experiments to test new ways of thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rachael works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. For many people online therapy offers flexible access to registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule appointments around work, family or other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
